Am looking for near mint copies of the following Sabbath lp's -
Black Sabbath
Paranoid
Master of Reality
Vol 4
Sabotage
Not interested in paying silly money for any of the Vertigo stuff so early NEMS re-issues (1970's only) would be ideal.
Can anyone help?

Try and avoid NEMS re-issues and go for WWA instead.
All my early NEMS issues are ok with the exception of the first album which sounds pishanto.

Picked up a fine WWA copy of 'Bloody Sabbath' recently and within budget..

The 80's NEMS reissues are awful - stay away unless you can find nothing else, but don't go without the music!

Just received a copy of Paranoid today that was listed on ebay as 'looks unplayed'. So why has it got surface marks all over it, some that go over the whole lp!
And a 4cm tear to the bottom of the gatefold ... :mad:
Still, the NEMS sound quality is very respectable on this lp.

WWA.. Take a look at the dead wax on your first four Black Sabbath WWA's you see the Vertigo Cat number with a line scribed through it ;)

hmm ok I guess that's a good thing - I've got a WWA debut lp on the way so will look out for that.
Just looked at 'Bloody Sabbath' and it wasn't there - probably coz it's the fith lp! :doh:
Amazing minty condition though - probably the cleanest old lp I've got ...

That's because it was not on Vertigo originally. only 'Black Sabbath', 'Paranoid', 'Master Of Reality' & 'Vol.4'..
'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' was on WWA from the offset, 'Sabotage' was originally NEMS.. {Must have a textured sleeve}
Lets hope you have an early WWA of your Self Titled..
